Edmonton Oilers lit up by lowly Kings

The Edmonton Oilers fell flat Saturday night in Los Angeles, getting throttled 4-0 by the Los Angeles Kings.

Kyle Clifford worked around Caleb Jones and beat Mikko Koskinen to open the scoring 3:15 into the game. After the Oilers failed on numerous attempts to clear the puck later, Tyler Toffoli made it 2-0. Then, Jeff Carter sniped on a two-on-one to make it 3-0. Koskinen was pulled after allowing three goals on eight shots. The Oilers managed only three shots in the first period.

Talbot made the Oilers’ best play of the second period, stopping Ilya Kovalchuk on a Kings power play in the final minute of the frame.

Anze Kopitar beat Talbot over the right shoulder halfway through the third for his 300th career goal. Kovalchuk added one more.

Jonathan Quick made 16 saves for his 300th career win.

The Oilers, who have lost seven of their last eight to drop to 19-19-3 on the season, will visit Anaheim Sunday.
